I ended up flying both the Zero and F4F. Jason posted a video on Discord of my hilariously bad attempt to land the F4F on a carrier. Had a blast chatting with Jason and other members of the team. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feldgrün Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Great news about Combat Pilot! I look forward to flying the F4F and Zero for myself in the future. Any other exciting news from the Expo? Did IL2 folks make an appearance? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other exciting news from the Expo? Did IL2 folks make an appearance? Jorg and Seb were there for MSFS 2024 & Asobo. They brought up on stage some of the MSFS partners. Some pretty cool announcements, hope they all pan out. I met the Got Friends developers, what a cool bunch of folks. WinWing and Thrustmaster were pretty close to each other (that was interesting). Virpil also had some cool stuff. Tons of vendors pitching all sorts of home cockpit features and accessories. VR guys were there in force as well. 4 Quote MSI MAG Z790 Carbon, i9-13900k, NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL40 6000mhz RAM, MSI RTX4090, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 4x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 1x 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, Win 11 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, Varjo Aero, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro2 Full Tower Case, Seasonic GX-1200 ATX3 PSU, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2, K-51 Helicopter Collective Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Combat Pilot, I think the most exciting thing was the number of Force feedback sticks and yokes on display. I got to try the Moza setup as well as the Flitesim yoke. Winwing had a prototype of their force-feedback stick on display, but sadly, it was not set up for trying. The number amount of hardware on display was impressive, both Winwing and Virpril had stuff that was not released yet on display. Next-level Racings Motion platform, Yaw Motion, and DOF motion were all set up for trials, as well as a few others I cannot remember the name of. VR was heavily on display as well.

Sea Serpent Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 That sucks. I was at least hoping for a compilation of Focke-Wulf videos, narrated by the great Luke himself. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''We are winding down the GB series now and will add a bit more content before we bring the new project into play, but we can't tell you about that.'' I don't think that would help much... and to be honest, I was hoping they would be taking part because I thought they might be using that platform to officially launch Korea. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simfan1998 Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 16 minutes ago, Mysticpuma said: And let's get back to the positives of this thread 👍 Totally right, so Why was Jason so stressed on the stage? He spoke so fast and couldn't stay still. The young guy was much more relaxed Time restriction for the presentation? Otherwise, happy to see it going forward faster than expected actually, even if it's not my favorite Theatre of Operations. now, on the less positive side (sorry): the "water tiles" still too visible, this is a known issue with ue, that need to be tackled, especially for an area were water is the main "actor". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of cool stuff to try and put your hands on, interesting people to meet, etc. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javelina Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I'd go again in a heart beat. Was a lot of fun, and I was able to meet a lot of nice folks with similar interests. 5 Quote MSI MAG Z790 Carbon, i9-13900k, NH-D15 cooler, 64 GB CL40 6000mhz RAM, MSI RTX4090, Yamaha 5.1 A/V Receiver, 4x 2TB Samsung 980 Pro NVMe, 1x 2TB Samsung 870 EVO SSD, Win 11 Pro, TM Warthog, Virpil WarBRD, MFG Crosswinds, 43" Samsung 4K TV, 21.5 Acer VT touchscreen, TrackIR, Varjo Aero, Wheel Stand Pro Super Warthog, Phanteks Enthoo Pro2 Full Tower Case, Seasonic GX-1200 ATX3 PSU, PointCTRL, Buttkicker 2, K-51 Helicopter Collective Control Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do hope there is a 1 to 1 scale version... Wheels But, the question would be....are we gonna get "maps" (old tech) in CP, or something much wider and bigger ? Just look what terrain plugins can be added to UE and you'll understand what i mean That's a part Jason isn't very talkative about, i just hope for a very nice surprise when CP comes out. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
